'Here For the Right Reasons' by Jodi McAllister is both a fun spoof of tv dating shows and an enjoyable rom-com.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I just finished reading
The Digger of Kokoda: The Official Biography of Reg Chard by Daniel Lane.I think it should be compulsory reading for all Aussies - absolutely harrowing what the likes of Reg and other young men (like my grandfather) went through to ensure Australians enjoy the freedoms and way of life we have today.
My review is here.

My review of
Snapshot by Garry Disher, #3 in his Inspector Challis series. I didn't enjoy this episode as much as previous ones in the series. The investigation was slow (not a bad thing) and then was broken by some conveniently discovered clues and seemed to finish with a rush. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The fourth book in the Cass Tuplin series by Aussie author, Sue Williams is another entertaining ride through Rusty Bore and surrounds, even going as far as Melbourne.4.5★s for Death at the Belvedere
